I’m a very calm happy Mexican Muslim. I don’t think I will have a problem living in Saudi Arabia tbh. Maybe in a couple years I’ll move out there ,we’ll see InshAllah.

Hey Pete, thanks for sharing your experience and advise. Nice video bro

Habibi that awesome to have someone like you from another country talking about Saudi Arabia and explaining it to others. I'm really glad to see that!

Valid points and all of it respectable and thoughtful, all of is a consideration for the society, respect

This is great stuff...thank you

Pearls of wisdom.

Well said 👏🏼

Greeting from Greece bro.Soon i will be in Riyadh,thank you for the advice

I'm the same age as you and I feel ya. I'm tempted to come and teach English here. The cleanse would be unreal. A sober lifestyle for a year would have so many health benefits

well done on this video my dude!!!! good job

Excellent non biased advice buddy .

This was so beautifully done. I’m an American RN on my way over. Your video just confirmed for me that this is the right move me! It even gave me ideas of what to emphasize in my upcoming interview. Thanks so much!

Thank you for the video! Do you have a video about how it is to work in saudi? Like workpace and is it much crunchtime, workhours a week etc?😄

Big thank you for your videos. I’m considering to move to Saudi and I love to get more insights about the daily life there.

I am always looking up islam rules as a american living in California. I would love to learn to live in a Muslim country and learn to better myself. Im already 33 so ... not getting any younger. Im glad you and your partner has had a positive experience and I appreciate your advice. Its great to get a inside perspective.

I have lived in Saudi Arabia and after 6 months there, I felt like going back to the USA to get everything I own and moving it to Saudi and never leaving again. I absolutely love Saudi Arabia.

You are welcome here brother ! believe me you will be more happy far from alcohol and drugs but you dont realize it yet

I will be moving to riyadh from turkey next week and your videos help me a lot to get to know about the ksa and living there. Thank you so much mate!

Hi Pete, thank you for always sharing about KSA. Have you ever talk or share about Saudization? How do you think about it, especially for expat who want to have career im KSA?

Can you make a video about how to go to saudie how to get residentsi.thank you

Thanks man. This was really interesting to hear a non-Muslims perspective.

In fact, you have mentioned all the negative points that anyone thinking of coming to Saudi Arabia, especially Riyadh, could benefit from. You have presented them logically and without bias. Thank you; you have provided a lot. I hope your video becomes more and more widespread.

Worked in saudi for years,jeddah tabuk,dhahran and riyadh so many ex pats come out of Saudi with a drink problem

Nice one bro i will like to meet you when i visit jeddah soon

Very interesting I will love to experience that side of the world as medical practitioner...any advice?

Your video is quite interesting and educative.

Thanks for the Video. How about for single females in their mid-age, is it recommended? Are there other Expat singles or mainly families/couples moving to Saudi?

My left ear enjoyed this video

Hello, Pete! :'D First of all, Happy Saudi Founding Day! It's 2024 :') So happy to find this video. And admiring you for your confession about the "elitist mentality" you had before. Very much YES on when you talked about being nice and humble. Expats talk down (belittle) the Saudi people, and it is so annoying to say the least. We were given the opportunity to live and work here, let's give some respect to the people and the places. And contribute, learn, engage with them. I read this in a comic book (nerd alert! :'p): "It is not for me to tell you what to do. I will say, though, that you, like all of God's children, have a responsibility to the piece of the world entrusted to you. That is your greatness." ~Moshe Chomsky [a.k.a. The Acidic Jew] (to superpowered teen Deb-U-Ton) Common Grounds #3 (2004) "Sanctuary" (page 11) Writer: Troy Hickman Hope to see you around... if you're in Riyadh.

WELL said buddy and many will not hear your words

Hey bro will talk about Exit Visa and is important to obtain it?

Is it different to move to Saudi from the uk

Good one 👍

Great vids but can we please have one about car hire options and your experience with dealing with an accident?

If I had the chance to live in Saudi arabia. I’ll go- oh wait.. I am Saudi

I'm a western woman, I have lived in and worked in Jordan. Not obviously Saudi. Thinking about a job opportunity in Neom. Read the employee reviews for Neom. They aren't great. I'm wondering how much my experience and understanding of the Arab world can offset some of the issues.

Great info

Salam from German. I am coming to Saudi shortly to find a job there. Can you give me some tips how to approach this endeavour? Are there any good recruitment agencies that I can talk to? If you have time, we can also meet in person. Thanks brother.

Coming to Saudi this April ,,😊

Thanks big guy

How are you learning arabic? By yourself or you have joined any group classes?

As a nurse ,wish to migrate to Saudi,will I enjoy my stay in saudi

Am living in Bahrain now and I have an offer to move to KSA in the same company. I would like to take my family together and live a good life there. My concerns are on the education system in KSA. Heard that it’s separated for boys and girls. Would like to know your opinion. And also about the quality of education. My wife is working as a software developer at present in India and she wanted to find a job in Riyadh where we are planning to move. Is it possible to find a job for her after coming there.

Hey mate you know somone who knows someone who will also send some of those white boy salaries my way too? Those 20 to 25k a month jobs. I am currently between saudi and uae and its not working out for me. I wasnt able to be a successful digital nomad.

So True

Well said , it takes a lot of courage to say that, and it’s ok for a human being to make mistakes, but you are a hero for always fixing what needs to be fixed with you , welcome to Saudi Arabia my man. 🇸🇦🤍 all the best

As a tourist who’s visiting next week, am I ok to wear shorts in public? (Hearing conflicting info on Google haha)

Please make a video about life of a foreign women in Saadia and what are the red flags. My mom's female cousin and ant became mentally upset for lifetime while living there.... Please make a video what women should consider when shifting to Saudi with their husband....

Hey pete, can you give advice to a tattooed man… hands and neck even? Is it okay if even following all rules and etiquette?

I just turned 24 last week I live in uae now it’s been like 9 month since I came here I am from Ethiopia I really love the Arab culture I know and speak Arabic well and my ultimate goal is to live in Saudi I am planning to move there but to be honest most people I know are telling me that’s a really bad idea and I am obviously not an expect since I am a regular person who works in a mall as a sales may be I might not get a good contract but what can I do man ever since I was a kid some how I am attracted to Saudi culture and people wish me luck and if there’s any feed pack please replay to my comment and cheer me up mate yallah

I get Mike Thurston vibes from you. But the cleaner Saudi version.

I loved pronouncing numbers in Arabic

Please make a video about fear of being kidnapped as foreigner in Saudi .... If its a real fear or their is some reality to it....

Any thoughts on bringing wife and 2 young kids to Riyadh?

كل نقاطك منطقيه فعلا

Born in Tunisia in April 14 1998, and grown up in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia from August 25 1999 until October 14 2023, when I first came there, the religious fanatic mindset was out of control, and I spent my education years from kinder Garten until grade 6 (2002 till 2010), yet went back to Saudi Arabia in September 2016 to restart grade 12 in local school after my failure of the 6 year I spent in my home country (grade 7 to grade 12, which is 2010 to 2016), I seem desperate for moving to a destination that matches my mindset/soul and I do not think I am returning to that city anytime soon, instead, I would move on to different destination. Society of Saudi Arabia is a capitalism in a name of Islam, I am an anti-capitalist, I better off to settle in a tight Knott community, instead of competitive vibe, also, consumerism is invading Saudi Arabia, especially when sales are detected, with food consumerism being the most dominant type of consumerism, resulting in obesity epidemic, people in Saudi Arabia (especially Riyadh) commonly overeat in order to fill the emptiness, as a distraction from the misery of life. People are conditioned to try to fill their void with consumerism after all, and that includes food, but this doesn't work and only leads to flat pleasures, dissatisfaction and grouchy faces. Eating healthy in Saudi Arabia costs alot. One has to go to health food stores and pay higher prices to eat organic. Only those who are well off can afford that. This is not right. Healthy food should be available to all. Most people spend their days sitting in offices and driving cars, so they don't get enough exercise and physical activity. Public transportation in Saudi arabia is not good enough and it was too late to build bused and metros, as the city of Riyadh remains car dependent followed by excessive amount of highways, so one is forced to have a car. Having to work too much also takes time away from recreation and exercise. Everyday life in Saudi Arabia is stressful and demanding, yet feels empty, boring and meaningless at the core. Saudi Arabia has also a tendency of living to work: You are expected to live to work, rather than work to live (as they do in Europe). They do not get enough vacation time off. They live like hamsters on a wheel. It defeats the purpose, thus revealing the insane working hours, especially for construction worker that came from Indian subcontinent. All that matters in Saudi Arabia is working and making money. Everything is a business. The system is too business-oriented to enjoy life. Competition is placed over cooperation.

how is it to pick up chicks?

I'm a logistics director for a large company in the UK. How would I go about finding work/work sample in SA? Does anyone in the coments know? Would I need to be able to speak Arabic?

I'd like to move to Saudi, I'm a PT but also in the UK work in sports management. What the best thing todo go over for a weeks holiday?

Bro you forget to discuss one major issue When you enter in Saudi as an employee, you cannot leave country without exit visa given by your kafeel or employer.. So literally you would be in prison And almost all compnies exploits and don't let you leave working at them

As some people in the comments would like to visit Saudi Arabia for their first time,,, and I think they already have by now.. I feel curious to know their opinions about Saudi Arabia!

Is it easy to find an apartment. And how is the cost of living?

Can I ask - is it safe and easy to live there as a solo female? None of the points above is a deterence; at mid 30s I am over the party lifestyle I enjoyed in London/NyC and just want good life, calm culture and reconnect with Islam.

Do you have to pay a monthly fee for staying in Saudi ?

Did you grow spike hair in Saudi?

Watching from indonesia. Love it❤. Sub and like ❤

Mate, regarding the girlfriend boyfriend situation. What about the case where both parties would like to work there as Expats? Would this still mean that living together would be impossible?

brother what happening?

Saudi isn’t good for expats at the moment, but they are definitely working hard to lay the foundations.

Bro you look like Jo Lindner ( German bodybuilder)

i wanna ask, i have a job here in saudi as an expat, and i have a girlfriend who is coming along to visit me here in saudi, is it possible for my girlfriend to stay in my apartment? and what about driving along with my girlfriend in a car, Are there any restrictions that officers might put on us?

how's the expat dating community?

Why is it expat for one and immigrant for someone else?

Don't you think that in the US you got a bigger opportunity to make money than in Saudi Arabia? You're always mentioning the money but I think the salaries are lower than they are in the US

Great education Open mind Smart guy Great view about this subject and about the world Good luck bro ✌🏽Peace☮️&💟love✌🏽 Salam aleykoum wa rahmatoullah wa barakatuh

🇸🇦 السعودية افضل مكان للعيش

You need to move that plant 🌱 back of you.. 😂😂

so really best to come to saudi in your late 20s plus make sure your pubin and clubin days are over

Saudi Arabia is the best place for raising children because they have a wonderful society,very safe country extremely polite people No drugs, Alcohol,crime I spend 17 years and came back with the best kids In the world if you’re single it’s not for you

Would it be safe moving to Saudi if im gay?

Pro tip: Watch in 1.5x speed, he speaks too slow

No more videos? Where has he disappeared

Hello Pete, I think you need to consider other Nationalities (Arabs, Indians, Pakistanis ... etc) who come here and know that they won't get any benefits except doing "the year" and making that "big money" because they know they won't get anything more. If they spend money here they and live that year "experience" wise they know it is not their country and they won't get any nationality rights. I know you're speaking to a European/American audience but kindly consider including those also in your experience in KSA. It's a beautiful and clean country not gonna lie but more than that it's not lasting for those nationalities.

Commenting for the algo

I believe it's more easier if become Muslim. 😅✌🏻

Basically, if you want to become a chicken without freedom

Better to you to not go to bars and drink 😂

Sounds like hell

If you're westerner dont bother with bringing your values to an Islamic country. Respect other people's way of living,the world does mpt revolve around Western values.

In short: If you value your head, do not move to Saudi Arabia.

Come to Bahrain you have everything there Even if you work in Saudi Arabia, you can go on a trip to Bahrain, you need an hour to arrive to drink and come back.💀🤝🫶🏻

Thank you for sharing, I am definitely considering moving over to Saudi. I will hit you up on instgram
